Also the home of the Mind Voyages, Well Educated Mind, Inspiration Reading Project and various mini challenges.

The rules are very simple and the goal is to read one book (at least) a week for 52 weeks.

The challenge will run from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

Our book weeks will begin on Sunday

Participants may join at any time.

All books are acceptable except children books.**

All forms of books are acceptable including e-books, audio books, etc.

Re-reads are acceptable as long as they are read after January 1, 2013.

Books may overlap other challenges.

Create an entry post linking to this blog.

Come back and sign up with Mr. Linky in the "I'm participating post" below this post.

You don't have a blog to participate. Post your weekly book in the comments section of each weekly post.

Mr. Linky will be added to the bottom of the weekly post for you to link to reviews of your most current reads.

All the mini challenges are optional. Mix it up anyway you like. The goal is to read 52 books. How you get there is up to you.

**in reference to children books. If it is a child whose reading it
and involved in the challenge, then that's okay. If an adult is doing
read aloud with kids, the book should be geared for the 9 - 12 age
group and above and over 100 pages. If adult reading for own enjoyment,
then a good rule of thumb to go by "is there some complexity to the
story or is it too simple?" If it's too simple, then doesn't count.

Currently reading Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan.
